  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 5 cups vegetable stock
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Place a Dutch oven on the stove over mediumheat. Once hot, pour in the olive oil. Add the shallots and sauté until soft,about 4 minutes.
  • Add the leeks and continue to sauté until soft, stirring often. This takes about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Stir for about 1 minute, or until very fragrant.
  • Add the apples, cashews, and parsnips. Seasongenerously with salt and pepper and stir. Pour in the vegetable stock and stiragain. Cover and bring to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer. Set thelid slightly askew on top and simmer until parsnips are tender, about 15-20minutes.
  • Ladle some of the soup into an upright, ventedblender and blend on high until smooth. I can usually get this volume of soupblended in 2 batches. Return the puréed soup to the Dutch oven and stir in theTamari and apple cider vinegar.
  • Check the soup for seasoning and adjust ifnecessary. Also, add more stock at this point if you’d like a more fluidtexture. Bring the soup back up to a boil and then serve!
